When calculating the volume of a room with a square floor, Fakira mistyped its lenght in his calculator. He made it 1/3 larger than it should have been. "That is OK." he said "I will reduce the breadth by 1/3". "No" said Anima, "If you do that you will be wrong by 18 cubic metres. What is the actual volume of the room?

Hi, Let the length or breadth as floor is square= x and height = x  So x3×x×x=x3 - 18 x3-x33= 18 2x33= 18 x3= 27 cm3Regards
